Hopped-Up 64

We've got a special guest all the way in from the UK this week, world-ranked tabletop Blitz Bowl player and general gad-about Conor Rooney. We get weirdly deep into some of the latest Smash Bros Ultimate gossip, discuss a whole bunch of anime, and get into what's going on lately in tabletop miniatures. Also we try to parse just what the hell is going on about Spiderman between Sony and Disney, and...

Literally every podcast is having their brain melt over this, and ours is too. This week the gang discusses some completely implausible conspiracy theories, before settling back in to make fun of David's house in Fire Emblem. Norris and Matt also break down Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Norris likes GLOW, Dave's started watching some cool new show called Breaking Bad, and some teen-sex drama call...

Listen: when you're right, you're right. We quickly threw together an episode while packing all of our EVO stuff, that's chock-full of fighting game prep, movie talk, and how unlike all the other systems our system is defintely going to break all the casinos. Also, Matt wants everyone to watch The Farewell, Dave needs a Mortal Kombat training partner, Steph disdain's Vancouver traffic, and Norris...

I mean, no director's been chosen yet but he's clearly the best possible choice. This week we're breaking down the ton of MCU news, deciding if these next films are going to be the ones that finally destroy the franchise. There's inevitably some EVO talk, and Kelly has some opinions about erotic fan fiction at the very end, so you'll have to listen to the whole episode to hear it. Also check out o...

Whether it's Wolfenstein making you believe everyone's a communist, Pokemon teaching you that nothing is permanent but death, or Assassin's Creed forcing you to realize the problem is your own damn self, video games give you brain worms folks. Mike and Steph join us this week from the land of endless northern sun, to discuss the hot new pokemon news. We also dish about Mario Maker 2, our Vegas pla...

There's some good film talk this week, as Matt gushes about everyone's favourite new comedy, Midsommar. We also discuss some more Evo prep, Kelly's controversial opinions about Tetris, and just let Matt go off about movies that are older than your grandparents.

Makes us all feel good. This week Dave and Steph discuss their experience with the ghosts in Devotion. Norris talks about finishing up Evangelion, and also how so many video games he's playing these days has him stabbing bears, and Kelly has gone back into stress-playing Skyrim.

Man I don't get this whole Evangelion thing. It's like, *I've already seen Pacific Rim* am I right? This week, we discuss a fair bit of anime. Dave is also slaying some spires, Steph is hiding from the cops in her mind palace, Char's playing with dolls, and Norris is dancing with his best friends Link and Zelda. Also check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Drink of the Week: Red Racer Pil...

It's a video game about an anti-government cult taking over a large rural area. How could it *possibly* be political? This week, the gang tries to figure out what the hell a Gose is. Dave and Mike discuss their EVO training regimen, Steph tries and fails to placate Norris' Persona demands, and we all discuss how Ubisoft doesn't understand what the word "politics" means. We also spend some time dun...

Had I known it was annoying, I would have stopped woo-ing throughout the Bethesda conference. Sorry. It's that time of year, where we all look into the barrel of the video games gun, to find out what's gonna blast us in the face. Turns out, it's just Gooigi. It's Gooigi all over our faces. We go over the main E3 conferences, detail what's been announced, as well as give our highlights, our lowligh...

Topics this week include: our embarrassing medical maladies, our desire to play video games that make us feel productive, our opinion that next week's E3 is going to be a whiff, and another story of Kickstarter folly. Also check out our youtube! youtube.com/superhoppedup Drink of the Week: Russell Brewing White Rabbit Lemon Raz Radler Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Steph Fan, Choco the Dog Musi...

The gang this week's talking about their favourite tv genre: sad people grimly volunteering to die. That's right baby it's Chernobyl, the best unintentional body horror show in years (not counting Dave's twitter). We also discuss the very important topics of Far Cry 5, training for EVO, lootbox legislation, and which video games are the most horny. Did we miss your horniest video game? Come to our...

He may not have always had a great track record with dogs, but it really looks like he turned it around. This week, half the team went and saw John Wick 3 (that Keanu Reeves dance movie everyone's gushing about), and they try to explain to the rest what exactly John Wick is about. Also, Steph refuses to apologize for not playing Persona 5, Matt has an endless list of movies he wants to talk about,...

We watched Detective Pikachu; it was kind of terrible when the cop Pikachu shocked those protesting water pokemon. We go through the wildness that is Detective Pikachu this week, before witnessing the insanity that is angry internet misogynist's fan edit of Avengers Endgame. We detail the Kid Goku DLC for DBZ FighterZ, go into some further details about the secret depravity in Stardew Valley, and...

Well, it happened everyone. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is over. It's done. No more Marvel movies ever again. I can't believe they killed off everyone. We're talking nothing but hot, spoiler-y details about Avengers: Endgame this week, as we go over our feelings on the culmination of 10 years of godlessly expensive film-making. We discuss what we liked, what we loved, what we weren't so hot on,...

It seems like everyone is either just getting back from, or just heading out to, some sort of vacation. Dave confirms for us that ex-pats in Thailand are scum, Norris confirms that tourists at Disneyland are scum, and Steph mostly has good things to say about the Yukon. Dave also gives us the details on Mortal Kombat 11, Char lets us know how much she's enjoying Backbone, and we all try to figure...

Norris is really tired this week, so let's keep this synopsis short: Kelly likes Risk of Rain 2, Char still likes Don't Starve, Steph is going to die playing Stardew Valley, and Mike is murdering pokemon for fun. Also we talk about the NHL playoffs, which is absolutely *wild* these days. Also Joker's in Smash Bros Ultimate. He's pretty cool. Persona 5's pretty cool, guys. Beer of the Week: Granvil...

Listen: life's hard here out on the Rim. Sometimes your dog army eviscerates a group of bandits and there's only one thing to do with the bodies. This week is all about the gang acknowledging their problems. Whether it's Steph's crippling addiction to Stardew Valley, Kelly's masochism with Sekiro, or Bill's growing need to harvest human flesh, it seems like we've all got problems. Except Norris. H...

Whether it's a CEO asking you to take a card, or a company telling you to give up your evenings and weekends, it's best you just don't trust gaming magic. This week we provide a safe avenue for Kelly to discuss his Sekiro troubles, Steph and Char go deep into Don't Starve Together, and everybody talks about the recent Kotaku article debriefing Anthem. Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, Charlene Bayer...

Also we talk about all the sexy gun gams in that Borderlands 3 announ...

This week it's all about death and ninjas, with the release of Sekiro. Kelly and Dave break down the game, there's a good discussion about putting easy modes into video games, and just some overall gushing. Matt lets us know his feelings about Jordan Peele's "Us", which somehow strays into talks about wizards, which somehow strays into talks about the existence of deadbeat gay dads in the wizardin...

What else would you call it when you tear down your neighbour's homes, rebuild them for yourself, and enslave the populace so you can liquidate them for resources. This week, we drink some Icelandic beer, and talk about some TECH. Some cold hard TECH coming at us from Google. That's right, the Google Stadia! Piping hot games to your TV! Steph and Mike also describe the bad things they're doing in...

They told me I couldn't put condom in the title two weeks in a row; they were wrong. THE TOPICS THIS WEEK: Kelly's experience in Florida Matt's love of Minions Dave and Norris' feelings about Captain Marvel Also we have some opinions about Anthem, some more opinions about DMC5, and some exposition to how Dragon Quest 11 is ruining Norris' life.
